    I went through a course on composition in photography, and I've watched a bunch of other videos on that subject too, and I have to say, the cinema folks really get it. This material is way clearer than anything that you'd find on photography.

    • @gregorylagrange
      @gregorylagrange 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Cinema might have an advantage for making you understand what composition is doing because motion, dialogue, and actors portraying all the feelings that composition is supposed to support.
      If an actor is portraying feeling isolated, the dialogue and the composition are going to compliment and reflect that as well.

    THIS IS BRILLIANT. So many illustrative examples and essential techniques explained with precision, nuance, and passion. I will never stop recommending your channel to everyone I know, haha.
    I love how even as an animated movie, Makoto Shinkai's _Your Name._ follows all these principles. The ending scene in particular comes to mind, where the two main characters are trying to find each other in Tokyo. Zoomed-out shots with the characters running in the background are followed by shots of their feet and then a sudden montage of quick close-up snapshots of random things in the cityscape. This adds to the hurried feeling and the expansiveness of the search area. And then the staircase in the final scene creates a sense of depth, and the way they're standing on opposite sides seems to be a golden triangle composition. th-cam.com/video/jkWViZk1u40/w-d-xo.html

    I recommend that anyone interested in these things start by actually doing and studying photography. Best way to learn how to utilize natural elements without a set or crew or anything else. Kubrick (the best to ever make films) was a staff photographer for Look Magazine before he started filmmaking. He studied the works of Henry Cartier Bresson a lot (who is mentioned in this).
